In my experience it’s people with an axe to grind (“my favorite project got killed!”) or people who just want an ego boost. Whenever you read a story from an anonymous insider source, ask yourself why they chose to share it. Sources always have motivations. @stroughtonsmith/984887088523997185

Also worth saying, there is another kind of “leaker” - the person with inside knowledge who approaches you to inform/correct you. I’ve learned a lot from people who know how Apple functions, but perhaps mostly because they know I’m not in the scoop/leak business.
